  1. NA: Axial displacement measurements were dismissed for this specimen.
  2. aG0, G25, G50 and G65 is the group designation indicating the loading eccentricity in mm; GINF is the group designation indicating column tested in pure bending; U: Unwrapped specimen; C: Column wrapped with a circumferential CFRP ply; LC: Column wrapped with two CFRP plies: one longitudinal and another circumferential.
  3. bNumbers between brackets in this row are computed as the ratio of the response parameter (average value in case of specimen duplicates) to that of the control unwrapped companion specimen (average value in case of specimen duplicates) tested under the same load eccentricity, expressed as a percent.
